Bad people will do bad things, sure, but if you want good people to do bad things, you need religion.

I'd actually argue the opposite. Religion reigns in bad people. Talk to a religious person, wait until you hear them say something like, "but if there's no god and no afterlife, what's to stop people from murder and rape?" That's all that's holding them back from total anarchy, the threat of eternal suffering and damnation, only for some it's still not enough.
